What is your best kitchen advice?

1. Oil up your eggs.

2. Spoon your ginger.

3. Have your cake and a slice of bread too.

4. Poke your lemons.

5. Reuse cheese wrappers for storage.

6. Add oil, vinegar, herbs and spices to the dregs of a mayo jar and shake.

18. Make herb butter ice cubes.

19. Brown-bag your lettuce.

Lettuce will keep longer if you place it in a roomy paper bag before putting it in the fridge. Also, leave the outer leaves in place even if they're limp or dirty: they keep the rest of the head fresh while in storage.
